Was This An Orchestrated Event? We Now Move From McCain Ads to Barack Obama
Was this an orchestrated event?

If nothing else, this will get all of the negative McCain ads off of the airwaves. The media is now bringing attention to Obama, something that will be good as long as it's not negative about Barack.

The media outlets were still playing the tired, negative McCain ads this morning. Now, they have something else to talk about, and this could be used to our advantage.

It might have been orchestrated, it might have not, but nonetheless, I think it will be good for Obama overall. No more McCain ads!

2. The mind does wonder
I just wonder if it will survive the weekend? With the olympics starting tonight, it might have been chosen because of Fri and "about to be swept away by HDTV".

3. On the other hand, David Gregory's last question was -
is this a problem for Obama? WTF? Not unless it was a threesome. Next up Nicolle Wallace - she'll have Barack as father of the child.

7. Yup, and like it or not, the unasked question in this mess is
how many more bimbos will the media turn out for Big Dog if they start sniffing around for scandal. We all know that he hasn't been vetted. I'm not willing to risk HRC as VP following this debacle.

11. Gregory also had a McClown shill on his last segment and the bashed Obama like normal
for about 6 minutes or so to close out the show.

4. Well, it's on a friday, when barack is on vacation, and when McCain has another negative ad
I guess they won't be attacking Obama tonight, eh? They've got another Dem to claw at now.

6. that thought crossed my mind....
that actually it was pretty good timing as far as Barack is concerned,
being on vacation, keeping a low profile...
the media (and DU) can have their frenzy unimpeded by any substantive stuff.

9. It's take out the trash day for John Edwards...
The story was gonna come out so he chose to do it on a Friday afternoon when the Olympics were opening to split the coverage and hopefully bring it out when no one would be watching.

Of course the media loves a lurid sex scandal so they 86'ed the Olympics and the Russia Georgia war to bring us All John Edwards TV tonight...
